北洋政府时期“双十节”赏功制度述论

On the Reward System Implemented during “Double Ten Day" by Beiyang Government

北洋政府建立了一整套"双十节"赏功制度体系,在国庆日对那些于民国有功之人授予勋位、颁给勋章,以示褒奖。授勋范围广泛,人员众多,且与政治风向密切相关。此项制度有利于奖励有功,激励有为和点缀节日气氛。但在具体实施的过程中,由于勋等与官级的结合、各级官员趋之若鹜以及缺乏相应的监督机制等因素,勋位、勋章授予日渐浮滥,各种质勋、辞勋现象也接踵而至,这种现象反映了民国政治制度的典型特征。

The Beiyang Government established a set of ＂Double Ten Day＂ reward system. By doing this, the government awarded legion and medal to meritorious people of the Republic. A large number of people with wild range were granted the medal, which was closely related to the political winds. The system could reward meritorious people, incentive hard work and create a festive atmosphere. But in the specific implementation process, because of the combination between reward and official level, officials at all levels rushing to the fame, the lack of appropriate supervision mechanism and other reasons, the granting of reward gradually became excessive. There followed the phenomena that some people questioned the impartiality of the reward system. This phenomenon reflects that the modern Chinese people were disappointed with the transformation from autocracy to democracy and from feudalism to republic after the Revolution of 1911.
